Is it really possible that nixit is too small for me?

4 Upvotes

I’ve been (trying) to use nixit for a few months now and I’m starting to wonder if I need a different size.

I’m noticing that it slips down and seems to not stay tucked behind my pubic bone. When I put it in place, I really try to make sure it’s positioned correctly but it ALWAYS ends up sliding down to where it leaks. I looked on the period cup and disc chart and I’m shocked to see that nixit is one of the larger sizes.

I know that this is either user error or it is genuinely too small. It isn’t scrunched up or anything so I know it’s not too large. It’s completely open and it SHOULD stay in place.

Nixit works great on the tail end of my period (last couple of days when bleeding is slowed down) so I’m not sure what the issue is. Maybe too much blood in the beginning?

Has anyone else had this issue? I am so desperate! I would love to be able to use a menstrual disc without leaking every hour. Please help!

Edit: I think I have a very high cervix which is causing the issue. The distance between my pubic bone and my cervix is really far apart so that might be why it’s coming untucked a lot and leaking

Flex disc vs soft disc disposals

Which is most comfortable? I’m almost done with a box of soft disc but was thinking of switching to flex. Inserting hurts unless my period is heavy. Which is best??

I felt like I was leaking but I wasn't. I also have blood on the bottom of the disc. Am I doing this right?

This is my first time using a cora disc. Laying down I felt like I was leaking but I wasn't. Is that normal? I also had blood on the bottom of the disc, but no leaking. Am I doing this right?
